Insight Timer is a meditation app that I use that has helped me many times. And this little Buddhist quote I remind myself many times before I open my mouth. On bad days I keep my mouth shut often.
In the movie, “One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest” there was a character that everybody thought was deaf and dumb but in reality, he never really had anything important to say. It made me wonder if the character was applying this quote to himself.
